A radical change in weather conditions
Temperatures in Catalonia are experiencing a notable drop, with snowfall set to intensify in the coming hours. What initially seemed like a light episode of precipitation has transformed into a real winter spectacle, with the possibility of snow reaching unexpected areas.
The Pyrenees, epicenter of snowfall
Experts predict that this Tuesday the snowfall will intensify especially in the Western Pyrenees region. Areas such as the Vall d’Aran, Alta Ribagorça and Pallars Sobirà will be affected, but they will not be the only ones; other areas could also enjoy this snowy landscape.
Snow level that drops to 700 meters
Forecasts indicate that between Thursday and Friday, the snow level could drop to 700 meters, a fact that would considerably expand the area covered by snow, including areas that normally do not register any.
Snowfall begins in the afternoon.
The first snowflakes will begin to fall from 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, with an intensity that will remain until the early hours of Wednesday. North-facing areas will be the most affected, with accumulations that could reach up to ten centimeters.
Possible significant accumulations
Some higher peaks could see accumulations of up to 20 centimetres, while snowfall in the eastern parts of northern Catalonia will be more moderate. However, a few centimetres could be added to the snowfall already fallen.
A week marked by instability
With the arrival of the snow, the instability of the weather will become evident. In addition, the wind has begun to make an appearance, with gusts that can reach up to 80 km/h, altering the meteorological landscape of the region.
Perspectives a curt termini
According to meteorologists, there are no expectations of improvement in weather conditions in the short term. Snowfall could continue to decrease towards the end of the week, so it is advisable to prepare for a harsh winter.
Preparations to face the cold
With the last week of January just around the corner, it’s essential to be well-equipped to face the low temperatures and snowfall. Patience and preparation will be key to enjoying this wintery panorama.
